Does it sound like Herpes?

Here it goes long story short.  I had protected sex with a sex worker.  Te next morning I woke up with completely sore and swollen testicles.  my sack was red and raw I also had a clear liquid leaking from my penis.  I thought it was Chlamidyia got tested and got a negative response.  Dr. prescribed me doxycline for two weeks.  Swelling subsided a bit but not completely.  I went back to te doctor and got prescribed levaquin.  Now 3 weeks later my nuts are still swollen rash is gone now I have a low grade fever and swollen lymph nodes. My main question is does this sound like herpes?

what herpes testing have you had done that you know it was a herpes ob 3-4 weeks after contact?

no, herpes doesn't present as epididymitis.

I started to develop a cold sore in my mouth as well as a bump on my pelvic region next to my penis.  I might have rephrased the question wrong can epiditmitis be a sign of Herpes?  I didn't have the outbreak of the Herpes viruse until about 3-4 weeks after sexual contact.
